Places to live on the Wirral?
Discussion
Evening all.
MrsPBF has had a good day - and been offered a job she really, really, really wanted at St Catherine's Hospital in Birkenhead.
Commuting will be fine for a while (we're currently in Crosby) but the plan is to move over to The Wirral next year before our daughter gets too entrenched in school (currently in reception so I'm not too worried about moving her at this stage, don't want to do it again though)
For various boring reasons we'll be renting out our current place & renting wherever we live on the Wirral.
BUT... For all the times that we've taken trips to New Brighton, Lever Art Gallery and numerous tea shops, we don't really know the Wirral very well in terms of good/bad/indifferent areas.
So - could I ask any Wirral PHers for their completely scurrilous feedback on any areas that occur to them - good or bad!
FWIW, we want to be about 20-30 mins commute from the hospital. I can work from home or a small office so that's no problem - so long as I have broadband I'm good to go. Looking for a 2-3 bed with a bit of character & not in a heavily built up or scumsville area. About £600pcm.
So your opinions please! I can see bits of Birkenhead & Liscard would give Kensington a run for its money in scum states but there's plenty of other lovely areas so please educate me!

Thanks all Keep it coming!
We're a bit limited on rent as want it to be at a level that doesn't cause too many problems if I have a bad month - and I really need to up my game working on the profitability of the business. I'm workign all hours but not getting enough £££. But that's another issue
Looking at the property site, stuff does come up at the right rent - it just takes a bit of looking for & patience. We can afford to wait though as the commute from here won't kill her for a few months. We'll move at our leisure, then refurb this flat whilst empty and then let this one out.
Yes, Hoylake & West Kirby do seem pricier. Was quite surprised at there being a few around budget at Port Sunlight - I think we're gonna be doing a lot of driving around to get a sense of the areas!
Called on some clients in Barnston & Heswell last week, some seriously lovely properties but daren't ask how much!
